Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

As a positive or pejorative term?

The first comment by the first commenter is "Can we suspend Godwin's Law for a moment?" followed by an explanation of the ways in which The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is an accurate description of reality.

Libertarianism is never far from Nazism. The Venn diagram is a circle. The only question is which circle contains the other.

Currently, I think (right-)libertarianism is a subset of fascism. In short:

  • Libertarians believe that people with more capital are inherently better than others and deserve all the power in society.
  • Fascists, in the abstract, believe that their ingroup is inherently better than the outgroup and deserves all power in society.

Both groups exalt the dictatorship of the market and ownership class and see it as simply the just enforcement of The Natural Order via survival of the fittest.

You can't have naked market capitalism and violent enforcement of private property restrictions without it being the groundwork for proto-fascism, IMO.

@swlabr @TinyTimmyTokyo libertarians are more likely to end up eaten by bears

Symbolically speaking nazi germany was by and large eaten/def”eat”ed by the bear of Asia AKA the soviet union, so there’s that too

Serious question: how do you keep track of all these shitweasels and their actions? I mean in the information management sense and possibly also the feed management sense

(It may perhaps not be best suited for here but I’m still curious)

  1. dump alla this dumb shit into your head
  2. remember it with the bit of your brain that tells fucking wild but true stories

fuck IQ tests. the only metric that matters is the number of milliseconds it takes my brain to accurately categorize shitheads using a mental database of the worst ideas and opinions ever shared on the internet
